I am doing some timelapses of the April 8 eclipse from home, but I won't be around during maximum obscuration. (This is in southeastern Michigan, so we'll get about 98%). I also have a lot of trees, houses, and other flotsam in the way. So I built this easy, cheap roof setup for the best possible view.
*By the way, you can use this same setup for any camera with a 1/4 inch screw in the mounting plate. The key is the 1/4 inch bolt I have running up through the two-by-four on the right side.
Materials:
1 two-by-four, cut into 18-inch lengths
1 heavy-duty door hinge with screws
1 lockable clamp (if your camera does not have mounting hardware)
Scrap wood for clamp frame
3-5 zip ties for clamp
1 1/4 inch bolt for mount (compatible with most camera mounting plates)
2 bricks for weight
4 2-inch screws to secure bricks
Cost:
Hinge: $3
Clamp: $8
Bolt: $1.50
Total cost: $12.50
Assuming you haved scrap wood and a few other things
